Smileys - Smileys are the small faces that you can add to your post. Since we are typing in a one dimensional space it helps to add smileys to your post so that others will be able to tell what type of emotion you are trying to convey. When you are on a "Post Reply" screen you will notice that there are smileys that you can chose from. There is also a link to more which will bring up a small new window with a bigger selection of smileys for you to chose from.
